The PebbleCreek Hiking Club is established to provide PebbleCreek community residents with the opportunity to enjoy recreational hiking in an organized, safe and social environment. Safety is a key concern. Hikers are accompanied by a leader and sweep carrying an emergency satellite communicator, medical kit and walkie talkies.
The regular hiking season is from late September to early May. In this season, 13 hikes per week are scheduled at the following levels:
EZ Level hikes (1.0-3.0 miles) every Monday
D Level hikes (3.5-5.0 miles) every Tuesday and Thursday and sometimes Saturday.
C Level hikes (6.0-8.0 miles) every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and sometimes Saturday.
B Level hikes (up to 12 miles) every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
A Level hikes (challenging hikes with unrestricted miles and elevation gain) are held on select Wednesdays November through March.
Summer hiking season is from the second week of May to the third week of September. In this season six hikes per week are scheduled at the C or D Levels. Additionally one EZ level hike is scheduled each Monday.
